Part Ache by Jungbluth With all of the skramz revivalism floating around the Internet these days, it was only a matter of time before I was talking about some German screamo, right? These guys are a Münster-based rock trio, I believe. They’ve lovingly named themselves after WWII activist Karl

Odd, repetitive, quirky, and playful is the new MGMT single! “Your Life Is A Lie” features a guitar riff drum beat that skips like a broken record, and is topped with lyrics that take a hilarious approach to existentialism. What’s even weirder is the video attached to this thing,

With a forthcoming album on Ghostly, beatsmith Shigeto has released a new track titled “Olivia.” The album cut takes the Michigan native’s music into some beautifully ambient territory. Enjoy!

It would seem that ex-The Books member Nick Zammuto has a second album–huh?–on the way. Not only does this video note that, but the single above is essentially all the proof you need. “Need Some Sun” is one of Zammuto’s smoothest tracks yet, not really showcasing a

Up-and-coming pop trio Haim has turned just about every head you’d want to in the blog-o-sphere with their hooky, layered, well-written pop songs that subtly reference everything from new wave to Michael Jackson. The band just dropped a new single with “The Wire,” and it’s got to be

Some heavy, crushing, and melodic death metal from Gorguts on this title track from their new album, Colored Sands. The LP is dropping August 30th, and I’d be willing to call this my favorite album of the year if every other track on this release is just as wild,
